Buying a Hinderer

I believe the biggest thing when buying a Hinderer is the blade shape. There are many types for the Hinderers and they make batches of each one. Lots of different configurations to sort through when looking for Hinderers.
 
Definitely get the Tri-Way, the ability to swap between washers and bearings is well worth it. I only have one Hinderer, a 3.5 flipper slicer; I don't really care much for the flipper tab. The tab in my hand recurves a bit too much into my index finger; I would actually like to try out a non-flipper one of these days.

That helps.

I would buy new if I were you, to avoid flipper prices - which are basically the norm these days. RKH releases a new batch of XMs about once a month, and if you get your email on a mailing list - say at DLT - you’ll be able to but one.

The XM18 skinny harpoon spanto is available new right now, if you PM me, I can let you know where.

Project X is basically - from a user perspective - a modified Fulltrack, that one you should be able to buy new soon as well.

Good luck,

Roland.

Thanks so much for the info!
 
I just got in the REC hinderer xm-24 in a bowie for 600 flat. Glad I got that although I'm not sure if I got a good deal, its my first hinderer and honestly my first really expensive knife. I think it comes in 20cv, i'd be interested to hear your opinion.

My experience.

The XM18-3 was TOO SMALL. Sold it.

The XM24 was TOO BIG. Sold it.

The XM18-3.5 was "just right" and I plan to keep it.
